Andrew Cohen
Andrew Cohen, born in 1955 in New York City, was a disciple of H.W.L. Poonja and became a spiritual teacher in 1986. He created the teaching of Evolutionary Enlightenment, founded the nonprofit organization EnlightenNext and launched EnlightenNext magazine. The organization collapsed in 2013, when Andrew was forced by his senior students to resign from his teaching position; subsequently, allegations of abuse of power and money surfaced. After two years in retreat, he began teaching again and leading retreats. His past students include the author of Spiritual Transmission as well as Peter Bampton, Mary Adams, Steve Brett and Thomas Steininger.
